Materials Information Engineering Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that uses statistical mechanics and geometry to explain how the properties of materials are determined.
AboutAbout the lab
Understanding the properties of materials from how atoms are arranged.
The Materials Information Engineering Lab theoretically studies how the properties of materials made of many atoms are determined by the way those atoms are arranged.
By combining statistical mechanics with mathematical tools such as geometry, the lab seeks to clarify how the thermodynamic properties of materials arise.
The lab also publishes manuals for computational software developed in the lab.
The lab belongs to the Department of Materials Science and Engineering in the Graduate School of Engineering, and has master's students and undergraduates.
Key terms
- Statistical mechanics
- The branch of physics that treats the behavior of large numbers of atoms and molecules probabilistically to derive the properties of a material as a whole
- Thermodynamic average
- A weighted average, at a given temperature, over the various states a material can take
- Information geometry
- A field of mathematics that uses geometry to treat collections of probability distributions as curved spaces
ResearchResearch themes
For systems made of many atoms, the lab uses methods from statistical mechanics and geometry to study how the properties of a material in equilibrium are determined by the relationship between atomic arrangement (configurational geometry) and energy.
